Today's pharmaceutical industry presents big challenges for manufacturers of blister packaging.
A recently published industry report from Plastics Custom Research Services stated that blister packs were worth about $1 billion, or 14% of the 2001 North American output of thermoformed packaging.
By 2006, blister packs are predicted to account for $1.25 billion, according to the report. As the demand for such products grows, so does the requirement for cost-effective higher-barrier blister films.
As your company seeks methods to improve profitability in this market, we offer our FDA-compliant PVC base products (FDA Drug Master File # 17528) and value-added barrier laminates as cost-effective alternatives to those you currently use.
Monolayer PVC film for solid medicine packaging can be clear or colored. With excellent characteristics including high transparency, good surface clarity, minimal gels and wrinkles, it is well suited for reprocessing into blisters, clamshells, etc. This film is made from a special non-toxic formula for the packaging of food and medicine.
We provide a wide variety of single or multi-layer film constructions such as multi-layer EVOH barrier film and Co-Ex material including Nylon, Metallocene and Surlyn - all suitable for most types of flexible and rigid packaging.
With 9 Layer extrusion capabilities including Nylon with an EVOH core, your product will always have the maximum protection against air and moisture. We can also provide a Surlyn EVOH film, or a combination of the above. Tell us your needs and we will provide the product you require.
